My latest article lands over at the Official Site as I interview Jez Allinson – the Running Stormtrooper – about his second amazing running venture in Orlando and here in the UK.
2016 was a big year for the running stormtrooper, a.k.a. Royal Air Force officer Jez Allinson. Not only did he run the London Marathon on May 24, 2016, raising £5,355.92 for Make-A-Wish Foundation UK and their Make a Star Wars Wish initiative, but he also put himself on the radar of Star Wars fandom in the UK and abroad.
It was a superb effort, which StarWars.com featured, but for Jez that was far from the end of the story. Spurred on by the great reaction to his London Marathon run and going over 200% beyond his target of £2,000, he made plans to not only match but exceed his 2016 efforts. Jez would compete in three separate runs — and StarWars.com spoke to Jez about his mission, just in time for today’s celebration of Global Running Day.
